Success can be achieved if we realise our inner strength: Space Scientist

Mysuru: Padma Shri awardee and senior space scientist Dr. Prahlada Rama Rao said that success can be achieved if we realise our inner strength.

He was speaking as a chief guest at the Silver Jubilee of Sri Guru Raghavendra Seva Trust at Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in T.K. Layout recently.

“There is science in ancient Bharatiya Vedas, which is helpful in missile technology and aerodynamics research. Young scientists should come forward to study this and incorporate the findings in their research. They should also contribute their mite for all-round growth of the country and Sanatana Dharma,”  he said.

Karnataka High Court Judge Justice V. Shrishananda, who was the other chief guest, said that the areas where Raghavendra Swamy’s ‘Mruttika Vrundavana’ is consecrated, will develop to a large extent and consequently, the number of devotees would grow. The religious and social services of Raghavendra Seva Trust is a model for others to follow, he maintained.

Noting that there is no restrictions such as communities, caste and time for knowledge and devotion, he said it is important to teach our children ‘Samskara’ and ‘Samskruti’. Stressing on the need for inculcating youths on the pride of being born in India, he observed that determination and dedication should grow among us to make India a great nation.

The Trust’s former President, donors and volunteers were felicitated. The event also screened a video documentary featuring the success of ‘Brahmos’ missile and the striking capabilities of Indian Air Force. Senior advocate K.R. Shivashankar, Trust President Jayaram and other office-bearers  were present on the occasion.
